Amazing Gift

Scrapbook Layout - AMAZING GIFT -

Hello!

It is rainy and cold here in Toronto, and since my dinning room table is being occupied by baking goods, i found a spot in front of the computer adding my projects to the blog.

I was inspired by circles and bubbles for this project; i started by using a circle stencil to draw all the circles, and used a paper piercing to create a stitching guide. A few hours of Netflix, and a cup of coffee made all the stitching go really fast.

Once the stitching was finished, I pulled my Clique Kits' Sapphire kit featuring all Pinkfresh Indigo Hills collection, and cut some circles from the papers, and die cut pieces from the ephemera pack. I created small clusters of circles along the layout, and added small details around it.

I added a picture of my daughter and our baby on the day we brought him home for the first time. I cut it into a circle, and matted onto some papers from the collection. I continued my circle motive by adding die-cut pieces, and the Clique Kits exclusive flair in a small cluster around the picture.

For the title of the layout, I used one of the puffy stickers, and the alphas (both from Pinkfresh Studio Indigo Hills collection) included in the Clique Kits' Sapphire kit. Once everything was glued, I trimmed around the edges of the page, and stitched it to one of the papers of the collection. Here is the final layout:

I love the clean and simple look of the page, but so full of texture and color at the same time. I really loved the versatility of this month's papers. I hope you find inspiration on this layout, and if you want to get a kit, visit Clique Kits (you can use the code NATHALIE10 to get 10% discount at checkout).
